Yagura looked at Sosuke deeply.

As Aosuke swept across the Land of Fire, his status could be said to have risen to a new level.

For such a master, he may not even be a match.

Since he is not his opponent, he can only win over him to prevent Aosuke from falling into the arms of the blood successor ninja.

"can!"

Thinking of this, Yagura nodded.

"Thank you Mizukage-sama."

A smile appeared on Sosuke's face, and then he left with Yuhi Kurenai.

Yagura watched Aosuke leave with a frown on his face.

In the past, he only thought of Aosuke as a knife.

But as Cang Jie continued to grow stronger, he felt a little uneasy.

Because he hates it when someone is beyond his control.

And Aosuke is the one who is beyond control!

Outside Mizukage's office.

Aosuke and Yuhi Hong walked out.

"From now on you are the Kirigakure ninja."

Aosuke smiled.

Yuhi Hong's beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, her little face full of tangles.

She wanted to refuse.

But he understands that if he doesn't agree, even Aosuke can't save him.

Because Kirigakure Village will not raise ninjas from other villages in vain.

But if she agreed, it would be equivalent to giving up her identity as a resident of Konoha, which she could not accept.

"Think about it for yourself."

Aosuke smiled secretly when he saw Yuhi Hong's troubled look.

But I know that the other party will definitely agree.

Because this is the only chance to survive.

As long as Yuhi Hong agrees, under the influence of Kirigakure Village's ears and eyes, she will eventually become a true Kirigakure ninja.

Konoha Hidden Village.

Since the failure of the encirclement and suppression of Sosuke, the entire village has fallen into an eerie calm.

In the depressing atmosphere, people felt that a storm was coming.

However, the Third Hokage did not publicize the hatred between Konoha and Kirigakure, but instead dealt with Aosuke's trouble in Konoha coldly.

At the same time, they continued to increase their troops to the Country of Tea, the Country of Rivers and other countries.

Anyone with a discerning eye will know.

The war between Konoha and Kirigakure is inevitable.

As long as one side is ready, the war will begin.

And in this silent atmosphere, a rumor spread throughout Konoha unknowingly.

"heard?"

"what?"

"Tsunade-sama, one of the three ninjas, has a close relationship with Kitahara Sosuke of Kirigakure Village. During the siege of the village, Tsunade-sama let Kitahara Sosuke go with her own hands."

"Asshole, what are you talking about? How could Tsunade-sama be that kind of person?"

"Not that kind of person? Then how come Kitahara Sosuke kissed Tsunade-sama in public, and Tsunade-sama didn't resist?"

The voice of doubt appeared at some point.

In the end, it actually evolved into Tsunade and Sosuke joining forces to destroy the ninja school.

In the past, no one would have believed such ridiculous rumors.

But in this incident, at least hundreds of students were injured or killed.

Among the ninjas who were chasing them, more than [-] ninjas were killed, and countless others were injured.

The family members of the dead ninja and the injured ninja, after hearing the news.

The original disbelief turned into doubt.

Some people even maliciously speculated whether Tsunade had betrayed Konoha long ago, so she did this kind of thing.

Amid this questioning and speculation, rumors intensified.

By the time the Third Hokage reacted, the rumors could no longer be suppressed.

"asshole!"

"What are the people in the village thinking?"

Jiraiya punched the wall with anger on his face.

After returning to the village, he has been staying in the hospital, preparing to receive a prosthetic limb transplant.

The transplant was successful today and I am ready to be discharged from the hospital.

Then I heard rumors about Tsunade.

He didn't believe it at first, thinking it was a malicious speculation by someone.

But after traveling around Konoha, he realized the seriousness of the matter.

From the major families in Konoha to the ordinary residents of Konoha.

They are all discussing this matter.

And the storm of public opinion is getting more intense.

"Hehe~"

"This is the human heart."

Orochimaru sneered with a hoarse voice and a cold look in his eyes.

Rumors like this don't even need to be thought about to know that they are false.

After all, Tsunade is not only a Sannin, but also the granddaughter of the first Hokage.

The granddaughter of the Hokage is a rebellious ninja, and no one in the entire ninja world would believe it.

But under heavy casualties.

Some family members who have lost their loved ones still choose to believe such ridiculous rumors to comfort their inner pain.

The horror of people's hearts instantly erased Tsunade's contribution to Konoha, which made him feel a little chilled.

"Orochimaru, you know why you don't stop it!"

Jiraiya said with some anger.

"You are not the only one being treated during this time!"

Orochimaru frowned.

His arm was also injured, and he was receiving treatment immediately after returning to the village.

And unlike Jiraiya, he only needs to install prosthetic limbs.

His arm didn't have more than half a year to recover.

"Damn it!"

Jiraiya punched the wall again, then turned around sharply: "Let's go find the old man and ask him what he is thinking!"

After saying that, without giving Orochimaru a chance to reply, he walked outside the hospital.

But before he took a few steps, he saw Tsunade.

At this time, Tsunade was no longer as energetic as before.

The originally delicate, beautiful and heroic face was now shrouded in haggard.

Obviously I haven't slept well these days.

"Tsunade!"

Jiraiya stopped and couldn't help shouting.

"Did the prosthetic limb transfer go smoothly?"

When Tsunade saw Jiraiya, she cheered up and asked.

"Ah."

Jiraiya nodded, then hesitated for a moment: "Rumors circulating in the village."

"Humph!"

"You didn't think I would be knocked down so easily, did you?"

Tsunade raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly.

But having said that, the depths of his eyes revealed deep fatigue and anger.

She was under a lot of pressure these days.

Even walking on the street, the respectful greetings of the past have disappeared.

If you prick up your ears and listen, you will hear all the pointing and questioning sounds.

Some even publicly called her a traitorous ninja of Konoha.

Although she pretended not to care, anger was already filling her heart.

"Let's go to Sarutobi-sensei first."

Orochimaru spoke hoarsely.

He knew this had to be figured out.

Otherwise, the rumors will intensify and cause too much damage to Tsunade.

"Ok!"

Jiraiya nodded quickly.

Tsunade fell silent upon hearing this.

Knowing that things must come to an end now.

If the rumors continue to spread, she will really be forced to leave the village.

The three of them walked out of the hospital at the same time.

Heading down the street towards the Hokage Building.

Nothing at first.

But after arriving at a place with a lot of people, pointing sounds suddenly came from all around.

"How dare this woman come out?"

"Damn it, Tsunade, one of the three ninjas, actually united with ninjas from other villages to deal with Konoha."

"I heard that Tsunade and Kitahara Sosuke are lovers, and now it seems to be true."

Whispering voices came.

There are even some people who show their malice unabashedly.

The previous titles of Tsunade-sama have disappeared, and people started calling Tsunade by her first name.

"you!"

Jiraiya heard this and his anger surged into his heart.

He never thought that the people in the village could be so stupid.

Instead of believing Tsunade, she believed those rumors.

"never mind."

Tsunade grabbed Jiraiya's arm and lowered her head. There was no anger on her face, but only a look of deep disappointment.

She never imagined that she would sacrifice her life for Konoha for more than 20 years.

One day he will be slandered as a traitor.

She was not angry about this rumor, but just desperate.

"Let's go~"

Tsunade said silently.

Then he walked towards the Hokage Building without looking back.

Jiraiya had a look of disappointment in his eyes.

He really couldn't understand why the villagers in the village believed such stupid rumors.

"Hehe~"

Orochimaru just smiled.

But there was a touch of alienation in the laughter.

It seems that the Konoha he protects has no meaning.

The three of them walked towards the Hokage Building.

Soon he met the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Old man, why did this happen?"

Jiraiya's anger could no longer be suppressed and he punched the desk.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his pipe and remained silent.

During this time, he was dealing with compensation for the families of the casualties and the increase of troops from the River Kingdom.

While busy with official duties, I also heard this rumor.

However, he never paid attention to it and only thought it was a disgusting personal speculation.

Unexpectedly, this rumor became more and more popular.

Now, even if he is Hokage, he cannot suppress it.

"Old man."

Seeing that the Third Hokage did not reply, Jiraiya's eyes flashed with disappointment.

"Feel sorry."

"It was my oversight."

The Third Hokage put down his pipe and sighed heavily.

"Old man, now is not the time to say such things."

Jiraiya couldn't help it anymore.

If the rumors continue to spread, Tsunade's reputation will be ruined.

"I'll handle it!"

The Third Hokage frowned.

"deal with?"

Hearing this, Jiraiya's anger suddenly rushed into his heart.

Because in his opinion, this sentence is just a slap in the face and fooling him.

"That's enough, Jiraiya."

Tsunade's voice sounded, her tone full of tiredness.

She didn't want to talk anymore.

Because she understood that rumors had already arisen and even the Third Hokage could not stop them.

If there was a way, it would have been stopped long ago instead of waiting until now.

"Tsunade."

Jiraiya opened his mouth.

"Let's go!"

Tsunade turned around, disappointment filling her eyes.

Seeing this, Jiraiya could only sigh, and then quickly followed.

"Master Sarubi."

Orochimaru stood quietly, looking at the silent Third Hokage, and finally said hoarsely: "You are really old!"

In his heart, Hiruzen Sarutobi was a great Shinobu hero.

He succeeded Hokage when he was young, and then led Konoha to become stronger with strong methods.

But I don’t know when it started.

The tough and tough teacher from before has disappeared.

Becoming timid and hesitant about doing things.

He ignored the death of Konoha White Fang and did nothing in the face of Tsunade's rumors.

All of this finally woke him up.

I know that the old Shinobi is no longer there.

The aging Third Hokage no longer has the ambitions of the past.

"This is life!"

"As life ages, any ambition will be wasted."
